Feverous Times

Feverous Times - The Eternals

I know the axe must be coming down

Through the walls with a thunderous sound

It's like final call shakes my windowsill

I've grown accustomed to the taste

Of the poisonous pills

I know the axe must be coming down

Through the walls of protection that surround

A suit of armor is the order of the day

In any town

Bedlam City USA

I know the axe must be coming down

Through the walls of everything around

I find I'm going deaf from the ringing of the chimes

In these feverous times

My body does rock long fever like

The ebb and flow of the time

Show me where I can walk in the moonlight

In these feverous times

No soothe nor soul is on hand

Soothe the soul on the inside

Show me where I can walk in the moonlight

In these feverous times

Bodies drop from long fever

Music's like a charm so I survive

Show me where I can walk in the moonlight

In these feverous times

Violence from a true believer

Who would know they'd step aside

Show me where I can walk in the moonlight

In these feverous times

I know the axe must be coming down

Through it all I will stand my ground

Like an antipyretic or an antibody

In anticipation of an anti-colony

I know the axe must be coming down

Through it all I will stand my ground

But the earth shakes and the rocks do slide

So like the children I will abide

I know the axe must be coming down

And then that fall in old town

They smell no smoke nor do they see the signs

Of these feverous times
